Toyoda CNC

Heavy equipment supplier has more than a dozen Toyoda CNCs, with a 2400 VOM mist collector on each. The supplier reports over 6 month filter life with 16 hours a day production. The 2400 VOM uses a 3 HP motor and provides a nominal 2400 cfm. Each 2400 VOM is equipped with a Chevron Mist Eliminator and filter replacement pressure gauge. A drain trap is installed on the bottom of the 2400 VOM and the collected coolant is returned to the process.

Screw Machines

F-120 vertical air cleaners were used to collect the mist and smoke generated from screw machines. Eight units were installed about 10 feet from the finished floor and were arranged so as to create a circular air flow pattern. The F-120s provided 12 air changes per hour which improved the air quality 65-80%.

Mori Seiki CNC Mist Collectors

Model MP-30 mist collectors were used to collect mist from Mori Seiki CNC models CL-25. SL-25, SL-204, SL-250 and SL 403. This machine shop standardized and purchased eleven MP-30 mist collectors. The filters have lasted so far 1.5 years. Besides keeping the plant 95% cleaner, customer indicated his machine tools run cooler which has improved production.
